Final blog: it's not goodbye, it's I'll see you guys soon :)

These past 5 1/2 weeks have been amazing! This course was exactly what I was hoping it would be! From UWF, UNF, KWL, FGCU, and USFSP each place presented an exciting challenge and something new that I've never seen or done before! The connections I've made I hope will help me in my future endeavors and deciding on exactly what I want to do.
I'm glad I got to meet and hangout with everyone in our group! You all are amazing individuals and hope to see you in the field at some point! I can't forget our amazing TA Monica aka "mom"

Monica- You are an amazing person inside and out! Thanks for always being excited for all of us! Your enthusiasm made it a lot easier to get into mud and murky water! I hope you find your dream job and hope to see your published work in the future! Thanks for being our ear and shoulder to lean and vent on :)

Michael- You have awesome enthusiasm and positive outlook on everything we did and I like that you always were ready for anything! I hope you get to do great work with jellies! Any time I hear "Trap Queen" song I think of you now haha

 
Sammi- You might have been the smallest in size, but you had the biggest heart and personality out of all of us :). Always smiling and happy to see all the organisms we found. Glad we got to do those awesomely fun water chem tests together haha.  Happy 21st birthday!

Pat- I don't think I ever saw you not smiling, unless you just woke up ;) I'm glad I wasn't the only one that stayed up late to work on graphs :)
